This can be caused by a lot of different things, here are a few checks.
Make sure apache2 configuration is valid (ie apache can read it properly)
(Obvious) Make sure port 80 is open and not being used by another program such as skype, apache provides a small command line program to check this. Click on the menu and navigate to the apache folder and there should be a menu item saying something along the lines of Test Port 80

Wish I could be of more help but I'm running linux at the moment and don't use wamp server anymore. If you get really stuck reinstall wamp (backup databases etc first) and follow a tutorial online that works to get a working configuration.
See this answer WAMP server not running after enabling httpd-vhosts.conf as it is very similar and could help you out.
